Acupuncture
Restore Your Health with Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a natural healing therapy that uses tiny points (as tiny as little kitten whiskers). It’s been around for thousands of years and is incredibly powerful and effective.
The style of acupuncture I use is called Balance Method, which I learned from the late Dr. Richard Tan. I will narrow in, exactly where your symptoms are, and bring relief almost immediately. How cool is that.
I will often put in a few points during our session and get you moving to check in and see how your symptoms are changing, that’s how fast it can work. Since we’re working with the nerves and your brain, shifts are quick and long lasting.
I’m very gentle and slow, so even if you are feeling a little nervous, know that I will calmly ease you into your session. I also have some additional tools if you prefer needle free acupuncture techniques.
Acupuncture directly benefits your health by reducing swelling and pain, releasing endorphins, increasing circulation, and stimulating the limbic system. As a result, we can work on a wide variety of conditions from emotional disorders (anxiety, stress, depression) to digestive complaints (poor digestion, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome), hormonal health, chronic pain, TMJ, headaches and more.
I believe that mental and physical stress, as well as traumas, are the root to a lot of our health concerns. As a result, I will integrate gentle somatics and applied neuroplasticity as part of your healing journey. This includes working with your limbic and nervous system to create new happy and healthy neural pathways and slowly fade out the old impaired pathways.
Health affirming nutrition will be included in our sessions, if needed. I’m a foodie and health food nerd, so I have lots of practical tips and suggestions on how food can heal your body. However, I approach this from a supportive healthy perspective, where we use food temporarily to rebalance the body. You will still get to go back to all of your favourite treats.
